Peak Grand Slam run came in 1989-1990

His best results were concentrated in a two-year stretch: three Round of 16 finishes in 1989-1990, including Australian Open and Wimbledon in 1989 and the US Open in 1990. Those are the only seasons in the data where he reached the second week-equivalent stage.

Wimbledon was his most productive major

Across seven Wimbledon appearances, he reached at least the Round of 32 six times and peaked at the Round of 16 twice, in 1986 and 1989. That is a stronger pattern than at the Australian Open or US Open, where his best results were less frequent.

Australian Open and US Open were more volatile

At the Australian Open, his results ranged from Round of 64 to Round of 16, with four Round of 32-or-better finishes but also two Round of 128 exits. At the US Open, he had one Round of 16, one Round of 32, one Round of 64, and three Round of 128 losses.

He stayed active in Grand Slams for 11 straight seasons

His Grand Slam career ran from 1984 to 1994, and the results table shows entries in every season from 1984 through 1994. That gives him an uninterrupted 11-year span of appearances, with 23 tournaments and 55 matches overall.

Late-career decline was sharp after age 27

After reaching the Round of 16 at age 27 in 1990, his next four recorded Slam results were all outside the top 64: three Round of 128 exits and one Round of 64. His final listed appearance came at age 31 in the 1994 Australian Open, ending at Round of 128.
